Title: Xiytiar
Post by: bobbtmann on November 19, 2011, 04:30:11 am
I started this ship a while ago, and it has been gathering dust for a year or so. I'm now working on this one alongside the XQ2.

Sigh. I'm in love with your UV mapping... :blah:

All joking aside, can you please post your UV coordinates and the texture you're using? I find it nigh-impossible to unwrap curved surfaces with panel-like textures, as the panels get distorted as hell.

Oh, and great model, of course. That goes without saying.

And here's an update. Progress is at a glacial pace.

That's an interesting take on this ship. It looks great.

Love it!  :) What's still left to do? It looks quite finished.

Does it include a HAL 9000?  :drevil:

I'm just tinkering with the texture, then LOD's and debris.

Looking great!  I dig all the aurebesh text.  I'm guessing you're aware of that one little lightened-looking rectangle on the front that look blurrier than the rest (or maybe I'm just misinterpreting something)?

Nope, I am not aware of it. Where is it?

Right there, I think, is what swashmebuckle means

That's just a little background variation. The whole hull is covered in box-shapes, it's just that you can only see that one for some reason. Angle of incidence, I suppose.

The problem is more that the inset panel is being altered by the lighter square than that the lighter square is the only such visible. The darker brown panel with the vertical line through it appears to be inset from the surrounding hull, except for the section within the area of the lighter rectangle. The visual effect breaks up the apparent line of the hull at that point.

Oh, I see what you're saying. That's kind of weird. I'll look into it.

ok grey now I want to send the scimitar your way, though catching bobb is harder than you may think, you may find mine a tad bit easier, as it is already symmetried, I did most welding, and the only unseen facaces are part of seen faces.
